LOCKS W.
Is it Contasious?- Bone Grating
and Nerve splicing.

Is it Conta Sious ?-Bone Graftin.
and Nerve splicing.
The recent meeting OF the French Con-
gress OF Surgeons was very notable one,
says correspondent OF Science. NJ.
OllIer, of Lyons, well-known for his eX
periments in bone grating, presided at
the meeting, which was attended by many
OF the most eminent surgeons of France,
as we'll as by other men of note, among
whom were the President of the Senate
and the rector Of the university. The
most interesting discussion was that
in regard to tetanus, or, as it
is commonly called, lockjaw. 1t
was opened by NJ. Vaslin, Of
Anglers. He regards it as purely ner-
vous disease, and in support OF his views
narrated a case which mad come under
his own observation, In which the disease
was due solely to emotional causes, and
which was cured by choral and NOR
phlne. Prof. Balestreri, OF Genoa, con-
Cured with NJ. VaslIn. and related seve-
raj cases which he had treated, and which
were successful. Prof. Thriller, of Brus-
sells, on the other hand, believed tetanus
to be contagious and of a parasitic ma
ture. NJ. Mannoury, OF Charities, denied
it's cOntagiousness, and said that, after
comforting with a good many veterinar-
ians, he was unable to learn of a single
case in which the disease was
communicated from one animal to an
other. Prof. Varneuil, of Paris, is a firm
believer in the consciousness of tetanus,
and thinks that it can be contracted by
man from the horse. He said that human
beings are often attacked with tetanus
when living with or near animals affected
with the disease, and that 1t often follows
horse bites. Wounds which have in any
way come in contact with earth or straw
soiled by horses are more Liable to be &C.
companied by tetanus than others, and the
disease is most frequent among stable
boys, horse dealers, and, in general, those
whose duties bring them in contact with
horses, Notwithstanding all these argu-
ments, it was generally admitted that all
attempts to convey tie disease expert
mentally from an affected animal to a
healthy one had failed. NJ. Blanc. Of
Bombay, thought the disease to be con-
tagious, and communicated sometimes
through infected water. Interesting
papers were read on bone grating, and
the uniting Of divided nerves by suturing.
The author of the latter paper believed
that severed nerves may be made to unite
in a few hours.

Didn't Need to Work,

From the San Frd7lc1sco Chronicle.
There Is not SO much laZiness in the
world as people want to make out. We
all work, but it's always the other people
VINO are lazy. Now take the case of that
wealthy traveller who lived at one OF our
hotels. He did not need to work. He
did not work, but what do you mean by
calling man lazy who could be the hero
of this story? He had a most expensive
suite of rooms, and no end OF extras. A
friend went up to call upon hlm in the
forenoon, and found him just at break
last. He was drinking tea and eating
toast and things. His manner was easy
and deliberate. He had finished the cup,
and he looked camly into it. Then he rose
and walked across the room ana rung
the bell. The servant came. s'Ahw he
said. "Waiter, l want another cup OF
tea" Certainly, SIR" said the waiter,
and he calmly walked to the table, took
up the teapot and poured the tea into the
cup. "Thank you," said the English
man. and went on with his breakfast.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-10-20
THE U. 8. SENATE.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt as to the probability Of the Dem
ocrats controlling the Senate in the
Fifty first Congress. which begins
March 4. 1889. The present Senate con
sists of 80 Republicans and 81 Demo
Gratis. Out of 26 Senators whose terms
expire with the closing of the 50th
Congress, l3 are Republicans. The
Democrats whose terms expire are Nor
gan, Ala, Berry, Ark, salisbury, Del,
Colquit, Ga, Beck, KY. Gibson, La,
Walthall, Miss, Mcpherson, N. j., Ran
som, n. g., Butler, ), g., Harris, Tenn,
Coke, Tex, and Kenna, w, Va 1t will
be readily seen that the Democratic
Senators, whose terms expire, are all in
the Southern States with the single ex-
ceptiOn of New Jersey. In the twelve
Southern States mentioned, the Demo
Gratis will elect Senators in all of them
without serious trouble. The only place
in the South that the Republicans
might make stubborn effort to elect a
Senator would be in West Virginia.
But the Legislature to be chosen will
be elected in the Presidential election
of next year, when every effort will be
made by the Democrats to poll the full
party vote. The Republicans, there
fore can have but little hope to gain a
Senator there, when it is remembered
how their desperate attempts to carry
the State in 1884, by a Republican
Greenback fusion that had been effect
ed by Mr.. Blaine himself, resulted in an
ionominious failure. In New Jersey as
in West Virginia, the significance of a
Presidential election bringing the Dem
ocrats almost to man to the polls will
make the "Clam State" show up, as
she las always done in Presiden-
tial struggles since the war, save the
Greeley Campaign in 1872 reliably
Democratic The Republicans then
can get but little consolation from these
facts and might as well concede that
Senator McPherson'S successor, If it be
not himself, will be Democrat. For
the Republicans to carry New Jersey

Democratic victories for the past dozen
wears, with the prestige of a successful
Democratic national administration in

A Terrible Fight.

Joseph Stambaugh of Osnaburg, ap-
peared III the Mayors Office this morn
ing and made affidavit against John
Roth and wife, of the same place, for
assault with intent to kill. 1t appears
that the parties have been on tie outs
for some time and had had several
little spats before, until a few days ago
the feud was eliminated with terrible
fight. Stambaugh says as he was carry
ing bucket of water Roth attacked
him from the rear and struck him with
a slate, following itup with other blows
until his victim was dazed by the
onslaught, when Roth's wife then came
up and took hand in TIE affray and
between them Stambaugh was nearly
killed. While in the Mayors Office he
was so weak he could not stand alone
and he presented a fearful sight. His
whole face and head was cut and bruised
in a frightful manner, and his body
also had sustained severe injuries by
the repeated kicks of his assaulters,

Hampshire, Oregon and Rhode Island
The Democrats today have both
branches of the Legislature i'm
Rhode Island, which they
elected last April. But it could
not be called a partisan victory.
Rhode Island had long been dishOnored
by an anti-republican form of govern
ment which dlsfranchised many of her
most useful citizens of foreign birth
by an arbitrary property qualification.
1t was the fountain of discomfort for
years, and Democracy had to be swal-
lowed as an emetic in a State that is
nearly twO-thirds Republican to correct
the disordered Republican stomach.
Colorado, New Hampshire and Oregon
are naturally Republican states, but
should Cleveland sweep the country
next year like cyclone, all three Of
these states would elect Democratic
U. ). Senators. In Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Massachusetts, the re-
suit will be doubtful, with the odds in
favor OF the Democrats. Michigan and
Wisconsin both promise to be Cleveland
states next year, and if they fail to elect
Democratic Legislatures it will be be-
cause both states have been Republi-
canlZed by disgraceful gerTymanders.
In Massachusetts the growing and de-
fiant mugWumpery, whose vote will be
cast for Cleveland, is likely to carry the
lower House of the Legislature for the
Democrats by such numbers as to in
sure them a majority on Joint ballot.
Illinois must go pretty strongly Repub-
ucan In order to insure the Republicans
the Legislature. This was manifest by
the elections of 1876 and 1884 when the
state went Republican by large majoities
but still elected Legislatures that sent
an Independent to the United States
Senate and reelected Logan by 2 ma
jOrity after dead lock of six months.
In Virginia any surmising about the
republicans capturing the Legislature
is too remote for consideration and the
"Old Dominion" will be represented in
the next Congress by two Democratic
Senators.
But while it is yet nearly two years
until the Democrats will control the
highest legislative body in the world
the Republicans are in a state of ner-
vous expectancy as to the position
Senator Riddleberger will take during
his remaining days in the Senate. He
has heretofore generally voted with the
Republicans, but the unseemly manner
in which he was snubbed several
months ago by Senators Hoar and
Edmunds, and the arbitrary rulings OF
Senator Sherman when President pre-
tenn of the body, in matters where he
was concerned has greatly riled the
Virginia Senator. Should Mr.. Riddle
berger vote with the Democrats it will
leave the Senate tie. This privilege
he says he will use as means of retail
iation to get even with his Republican
brethren. He does not expect a re-
election but intends to close his Sena
torial services at the end of his present
term. The Republicans will therefore
not be able to pass any bill in the Senate
as party measure unless they regain
Senator Riddleberger's friendship.

to any one had the people displayed
any reason. 1t wa scarcely minute
after the doors were open before the
store was packed with people and ii
became necessary to lock the doors.
From this on the people were let in

the crowd persisted in remaining until
Une lights were extinguished and the
store locked up.
The injured folks were all taken to
the office Of DIR. A. G. Brant, who at.
tended them, after which those badly
hurt were taken home in coaches, the

lured in the crush. At one time when
the crowd forced open the door and
broke in the windows, Mrs George
Young, an elderly lady, had an arm
cut, and two other ladies were cut il
the face by the broken glass. Mrs
William Mckinney was seriously hurt
internally. The little girl who fell down
the area, is named Klotz. She was not
so badly injured as was first thought.
